  • OEIC(Optoelectronic Integrated Circuit)'s can be integrated horizontally or vertically. Horizontal integration approach is, however, more immune to parasitic and more universally applicable. In this paper, a structural modeling, fabrication and characterization of PIN photodiodes which can be used in the horizontal integration are performed. For device modeling, we build a transmission line model from 2-D device simulation, from which lumped model parameters are extracted. The speed limits of the PIN photodiodes can also be calculated under various structural conditions from the model. Thus optimum design of horizontally integrated PIN photodiodes for high speed operation are possible. Such InGaAs/InP PIN photodiodes for long-wavelength communications are fabricated using pit etch, epi growth, planarization, diffusion and metallization processes. Planarization process using both RIE and wet etching and diffusion process using evaporated Zn$_{3}P_{2}$ film are developed. Characterization of the fabricated devices is performed through C-V and I-V measurements. At a reserve bias of 10V, the dark current is less than 5nA and capacitance is about 0.4pF. The calculated bandwidth using the measured series resistance and capacitance is about 4.23GHz.

  • DSSC (Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell)의 TCO (Transparent Conductive Oxide)와 전해질 사이의 전자 재결합(Back reaction)은 DSSC의 효율을 떨어뜨리는 요소 중 하나이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 Blocking layer로서 $TiO_2$ 가 많이 사용되어지고 있다. 본 실험에서는 $HfO_2$ 를 Blocking layer로 사용하여 전자 재결합으로 인한 효율 저하를 막기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 기존 $TiO_2$ 대비 $HfO_2$는 큰 에너지 밴드갭을 가지고 있어, TCO와 전해질 사이에 전자 재결합을 줄여주는 역할을 하기 때문에 DSSC의 효율 향상을 확인할 수 있다. 효율 측정은 1sun (100 mW/cm, AM1.5)조건에서 solar simulator를 이용하여 측정 했으며, 전자 재결합 감소는 Dark Current, EIS (Electrochemical Impedance spectroscopy)의 측정을 통하여 확인하였다. $HfO_2$를 이용한 blocking layer를 염료 감응 태양전지에 적용하면, 전자 재결합에 의한 손실을 줄여 성능적 측면에서 개선 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Research on information systems and software engineering has often neglected behavioral effects, which may play a role in decision making on software development. The current study addresses this issue by empirically investigating the behavioral roots of over-requirement in the context of a software development project via an experiment. The negative phenomenon of over-requirement refers to specifying a software system beyond the actual needs of the customer or the market, which overload the system with unneeded features. The research question addressed here is whether over-requirement is due in part to the emotional involvement of developers with the software features they developed because of behavioral effects. Previous studies have demonstrated that under the endowment, I-designed-it-myself, and IKEA effects, people become emotionally involved and overvalue physical items that they respectively possess, self-design, or self-create. The findings of our experiment show that participants over-valued features they were assigned to be responsible for, to specify, or to construct, thereby confirming that the three behavioral effects play a role in software development decisions and affect over-requirement. Thus, the study contributes to software development research and practice from the behavioral economics perspective, highlighting the roots of over-requirement.

  • A disease causing severe leaf spots in pepper plants has been observed in northern Gyeongbuk and Gangwon provinces in Korea since 1994. The current study diagnosed the disease as gray leaf spot caused by Stemphylium solani Weber and S. lycopersici (Enjoji) Yamamoto, both of which are pathogenic in pepper and tomato plants. Although the disease has been found in almost all areas where peppers are grown, it is more severe in mountain terrains where the nights are cool. Both species of pathogenic fungi were found to sporu-late profusely on V-8 juice agar in plastic or Pyrex glass Petri dishes, although not in domestically-produced glass Petri dishes, when cultured at $20^{\circ}C$ under irradi-ation from a daylight fluorescent lamp with a 12-hour light and dark alternation. The domestically-produced glass Petri dishes, which are made of window glass, were found to block near ultraviolet wavelengths, around and below 300 nm, which explained why the fungi did not sporulate. However, sporulation decreased at above $25^{\circ}C$ and most isolates failed to sporulate above $27^{\circ}C$. The worst level of disease was obtained when the inoculated plants were incubated with a $15^{\circ}C$ night and $20^{\circ}C$ day temperature regime relative to 4 night/day temperature combinations (15/20, 20/25, 25/30, and 30/35$^{\circ}C$).

  • Dietary guidelines are a distillation of dietary advice from health professionals to the general public. They are based upon current scientific knowledge about the relationships between diet and disease, nutrients available in the food supply of a country, and the profile of morbidity and mortality in that country. With two different sets of dietary guidelines used for more than an decade in Korea. the necessity of revising dietary guidelines has been raised continuously from academia and research. Funded by a grant from the Health Technology Planing and Evaluation Board. Dietary guidelines for each age group were drafted as a research project and the one for the Korean elderly is as follows: Dietary Guidelines for the korean elderly(draft) - Have a variety of easily digestible foods on time; at least 3 meals a day and some snakes. - Be physically active to maintain appetite and/or ideal body weight. ; maintain a balance between activity and what you eat. -Increase consumption of bean-and dairy-and dairy-products. - Consume enough amounts of fresh dark-green and yellow vegetables and fresh fruits. - Consume adequate amounts of assorted kind of animal foods including fish, meat and poultry. - If you drink alcoholic beverages, limit your intake and, drink enough water and other averages; alcohol may interact with your medication and affect your appetite. Aforementioned draft and related contents are expected to be utilized as a neat base in formulating(or revising) dietary guidelines for Korean by the Government in near future.

  • 모듈 상태에서의 태양전지 효율에 영향을 주는 외부 요인으로는 풍력과 눈 등의 하중으로 인한 물리적 스트레스와 자외선을 포함하는 광범위한 파장 대역의 빛의 영향 등이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 태양전지의 야외 노출 시간에 따른 소자의 특성 및 효율 변화를 분석하고자 효율이 17.14%인 결정질 태양전지를 18시간 야외에서 노출 시켜 6시간 간격으로 전기적 특성을 분석해 태양전지의 여러 파라미터 변화를 분석하고자 한다. 본 실험에서는 태양전지의 외부 노출에 의한 소자 특성 및 파미미터 변화를 확인하고자 일정 시간 간격으로 노출 된 solar cell에 대한 Dark I-V, Light I-V 측정을 하였다. DIV 측정을 통해 노출 시간이 증가할수록 동일전압 대비 current가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 역방향 전압에서는 누설전류가 증가함을 확인하였다. Turn-on 전압 감소와 누설전류 증가, 직렬저항의 변화로 인한 소자의 파라미터 변화를 확인하기 위한 LIV 측정에서는 노출 시간 증가에 따라 단락전류 $0.177(mA/cm^2)$, 개방전압 2.699 (mV), 곡선인자 0.5%가 감소하였으며, 소자의 효율도 0.27% 감소하였다. 이처럼 태양전지의 외부 노출은 소자의 파라미터를 감소시키고 최종적으로 소자의 효율을 저해하는 원인이 됨을 확인하였다.

  • At present, the study of direct digital X-ray detector and indirect digital X-ray detector proceed actively. But it needs high thickness and high voltage in selenium for high ionization rate. Therefore, we carried out the study of electric characteristics of a-Se with additive ratio of Iodine in drafting study for developing Hybrid X -ray Sensor for complementing direct digital X -ray detector and indirect digital X-ray detector in this paper. On this, there are formed Amorphous selenium multi-layers by sticking phosphor layer$(Gd_{2}O_{2}S(Eu^{2+}))$ using optical adhesives of EFIRON Co. Amorphous selenium multi-layers having dielectric layer(parylene) has characteristics of low dark-current, high X-ray sensitivity. So we can acquired a enhanced signal to noise ratio. We make Amorphous selenium multi-layers with $30{\mu}m$ thickness on glass.
